A simple Italian dessert, Zabaglione is made of egg yolks, sugar and Marsala wine. It can be served warm, cold, as a sauce or even frozen. This dessert is classified as a caudle rather than a custard. A caudle is a sauce used as a custard to fill pies or tarts. It’s easy to make, with just a double boiler set up. Prep time: 5 minsCook time: 20 minsCooling time: 15 minsTotal time: 40 minsServings: 6 servings Ingredients Zabaglione custard: 6 egg yolks 1/3 cup sugar 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest Pinch ground cinnamon Drop vanilla extract 3/4 cup Marsala Serve with: 1 cup heavy cream, whipped Strawberries, raspberries, or biscotti Directions Put the custard ingredients into a bowl: Place the egg yolks and sugar in a large, round-bottomed stainless steel or Pyrex bowl. Add the grated lemon zest, a pinch of cinnamon and a drop of vanilla extract to the yolk mixture. Pour in the Marsala. Prepare a double boiler: Fill a pot halfway with water, and bring the water to a simmer. Reduce the heat to maintain the simmer. Set the bowl containing the custard mixture over the water.Note: the bottom of the bowl should not touch the water. Whisk the custard mixture until it thickens: Whisk the custard mixture, making sure that the water in the pot below is just gently boiling and not touching the bowl. This ensures a gentle, even heat thickens the mixture without curdling it. Whisking traps air in the yolks for a light, fluffy mixture.Continue whisking for several minutes, until the mixture triples in volume, froths up, and becomes pale. Remove the bowl from the pot: When the custard reaches the desired consistency, take the container of custard out of the pot. Slightly thickened, the custard can be used as a sauce. Longer cooking will thicken the custard further, giving it the texture of mousse. Continue whisking for a minute or two to prevent the custard from sticking to its container. Serve warm or cooled: Serve the custard while still warm, or, if you want to serve it cool, set it aside for about 15 minutes.Add the whipped cream to the cooled custard and use a whisk to gently fold them together. Reserve some of the whipped cream to serve on top.Ladle the zabaglione into individual dishes. Serve with whipped cream, berries, and/or cookies, such as biscotti. Source: Simply Recipes
